SOVEREIGNTY WAR EMPEROR - Season 6 Episode 47

The great hall that was suffused with warm air when compared with the icy cold world outside the hall was entirely like two extreme opposites.

Presently, Xue Rui and Zhang Sheng sat facing each other within the great hall.

“Prince Sheng, did you make a special trip to see me?” Xue Rui went straight to the point.

“Exactly!” Zhang Sheng nodded, and flames of rage leaped about in his eyes as he said with a low voice, “Sect Master Xue, I’ll go straight to the point… I came to look for you this time mainly because I want to cooperate with your Azure Forest Tri-Sect.”

“Cooperate?” Xue Rui was stunned, and then he shook his head and smiled. “Prince Sheng, according to my knowledge, our Azure Forest Tri-Sect has never had a relationship with your Prince Sheng’s Estate, so what cooperation are you speaking about?”

“Sect Leader Xue, I want to cooperate with your Azure Forest Tri-Sect in coordination from both the inside and the outside to kill Duan Ling Tian!” Zhang Sheng spoke word by word.

Duan Ling Tian!

Zhang Sheng’s words caused Xue Rui’s eyes to slightly squint. “Prince Sheng… According to my knowledge, Duan Ling Tian is a student of the Dragon and Phoenix Academy, and to a certain extent, he’s protected by your Imperial Family.”

“Exactly!” Zhang Sheng nodded as a trace of killing intent flashed within his eyes. “It’s precisely because that Imperial Brother of mine is protecting him that I thought of cooperating with your Azure Forest Tri-Sect to kill him!”

“I wonder how Duan Ling Tian ignorantly offend Prince Sheng?” Xue Rui asked with interest.

Zhang Sheng spoke of the sequence of events with rage.

“The mouse type demon beast by Duan Ling Tian’s side is able to kill a second level Void parting Stage martial artist?” Xue Rui’s brows raised. “Prince Sheng, do you know the exact cultivation of that demon beast?”

“I don’t know that.” Zhang Sheng shook his head, then he seemed to have thought of something and asked. “Sect Leader Xue, according to my knowledge, your Azure Forest Tri-Sect ought to wish for nothing more than to kill that Duan Ling Tian and celebrate after… Yet I wonder why he’s still living until today?”

“With Duan Ling Tian’s natural talent… There might not be anyone who’s a match for him in the Azure Forest Tri-Sect after ten years!” As he finished speaking, Zhang Sheng’s eyes flickered with a bright light.

This was something he was unable to wrap his head around all along.

If he was a Sect Leader of the Azure Forest Tri-Sect, once he found out that Duan Ling Tian was at the Dragon and Phoenix Academy, he would surely spare no cost in killing Duan Ling Tian.

The threat Duan Ling Tian posed was too great.

“Prince Sheng, I won’t hide the truth from you… Almost one year ago, our Azure Forest Tri-Sect took action against Duan Ling Tian.”

Flowing lights flickered within Xue Rui’s eyes as he said slowly, “At that time, our Azure Forest Tri-Sect had sent out two sixth level Void Initiation Stage Guardian Elders to head to the Imperial City and await an opportunity to kill Duan Ling Tian!”

“However, those two Guardian Elders instead vanished into thin air, and it was as if they’d evaporated from the world… It’s precisely because of this that our Azure Forest Tri-Sect didn’t dare rashly make another move.” Xue Rui finished speaking in one go.

When he spoke up to here, Xue Rui’s eyes revealed a trace of fear.

Besides that, his personal disciple, Liu Yue, had now vanished without a trace.

According to his guess, his disciple had probably met with disaster.

“What?!” Zhang Sheng’s face went gloomy. “Two sixth level Void Initiation Stage experts vanished without a trace? Could it be that it was done by the demon beast by Duan Ling Tian’s side?”

“Probably not.” Xue Rui shook his head. “If the demon beast by Duan Ling Tian’s side had the strength to kill two sixth level Void Initiation Stage experts… Do you think he wouldn’t come take revenge on our Azure Forest Tri-Sect for the Seven Star Sword Sect?”

Zhang Sheng came to a sudden understanding.

Indeed!

If the demon beast by Duan Ling Tian’s side had the strength to kill two sixth level Void Initiation Stage experts, Duan Ling Tian would surely not let the Azure Forest Tri-Sect off.

“Could it be that until your Azure Forest Tri-Sect finds those two Guardian Elders, your sect won’t make a move against Duan Ling Tian?” Zhang Sheng spoke out and guessed. “According to my conjecture, perhaps the two Guardian Elders have temporarily concealed themselves because of something, and it’s impossible for it to be related to Duan Ling Tian.”

“I think so too… But the other two Sect Leaders instead advocate being on the safe side,” said Xue Rui.

“Being on the safe side is indeed a necessity… But the act of letting Duan Ling Tian grow is inadvisable!” said Zhang Sheng.

“Prince Sheng, you said earlier that you wanted to cooperate with us by coordinating from both the inside and the outside to deal with Duan Ling Tian… I presume you have a mature idea, and I’m willing to listen to the details.” Xue Rui asked Zhang Sheng.

…

Duan Ling Tian naturally didn’t know that a great scheme was sneaking towards him now.

Presently, he was silently cultivating in the academy as he waited for the arrival of the genius competition that was half a month away.

The genius competition would decide the stronger five people in the end, and these five people would acquire the five spots to head to the Darkstone Empire.

With Duan Ling Tian’s current strength, it wasn’t difficult to seize one of the five spots, but Duan Ling Tian’s target now wasn’t the spot from the genius competition.

Obtaining that spot was without suspense to him, and he’d never even thought about it.

His current target was to break through to the Void Initiation Stage as soon as possible!

At that time, he would be able to open the Sword Monarch’s Treasure with the other owners of the eight jade swords.

The Sword Monarch’s Treasure was a treasure left behind by a sword cultivating Martial Monarch, and there might be things that are useful to him within it.

“Unfortunately, although the Rebirth Pill could be called heaven defying, and is able to great improve my cultivation… I only have a core medicinal catalyst.” Duan Ling Tian sighed.

The most important material of the Rebirth Pill was the blood of a Scarlet Phoenix.

However, besides the core medicinal catalyst, the blood of a Scarlet Phoenix, the Rebirth Pill still required another two more secondary medicinal catalysts…

Although those two secondary medicinal catalysts couldn’t be considered to be rare in the Foreign Lands, they’d be extremely difficult to come by in the territory of the Darkhan Dynasty.

“All those years ago, after the Rebirth Martial Emperor consumed the Rebirth Pill, he’d experienced many years before completely absorbing the medicinal strength of the Rebirth Pill and breaking through from the first level of the Martial Emperor Stage to the fourth level of the Martial Emperor Stage in one go, and he crushed all the other Martial Emperors on Cloud Continent!” Duan Ling Tian shuddered with fear when he thought of the terrifying medicinal strength contained within the Rebirth Pill.

That medicinal strength could be called heaven defying!

Most importantly, the medicinal strength of the Rebirth Pill was extremely gentle.

A human or demon beast of any cultivation was able to consume it.

“I can only wait until I arrive at the Darkstone Empire then go look for it at the Darkhan Dynasty.” Duan Ling Tian thought in his heart.

The other medicinal materials weren’t anything great, as he’d already obtained the Scarlet Phoenix blood that was the most difficult to obtain, and he only lacked the two secondary medicinal catalysts.

So long as he obtained those two types of secondary medicinal catalysts, he would be able to refine the Rebirth Pill.

Now, Duan Ling Tian only hoped that he would be able to find those two medicinal materials in the Darkhan Dynasty…

“Perhaps I can ask City Governor Feng for help after I arrive at the Darkhan Dynasty.” Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian couldn’t help but recall Feng Wu Dao and the others he’d gotten acquainted with in the Darkstone Empire’s Phoenix Nest City all those years ago.

Feng Wu Dao had said that Duan Ling Tian could go to the Feng Clan to look for him once Duan Ling Tian had arrived in the Darkhan Dynasty in the future.

“Also, Tian Wu… She’s a step closer to the age of 30 now! I hoped that I’m able to find a way to help her before she’s 30 years old.”

Feng Tian Wu possessed the rare Fire Spirit Body.

If there was no way to deal with it before she became 30, then Feng Tian Wu would surely explode from the pent up energy in her body.

Although the relationship between him and Feng Tian Wu hadn’t advanced to the extent of being love between man and woman, he always felt tender and protective towards that beautiful and warm young woman.

If it was possible, Duan Ling Tian wasn’t willing to see her pass away like this.

Half a month of time passed by quickly.

During this period of time, Little Gold had sent Zheng Song to the stalactite cave on Megrez Peak and returned.

Today, early in the morning after breakfast, the group of Dragon and Phoenix Academy students were all gathered together.

“Everyone, from today onwards, the Dragon and Phoenix Academy will be dissolved… All of you can return to the powers you belong to! Tomorrow, all of you can rely on the Dragon and Phoenix Academy student command token in your possessions to lead the seniors from the powers all of you are from into the Imperial Palace to watch the genius competition!

“At that time, there will be someone to gather the command tokens in your possessions. Now, everyone can disperse!” The Vice Dean, Chi Ming, spoke slowly.

Instantly, the students present went silent.

Especially some of the Outer Hall students, as they’d sown deep friendship between each other, and after today, all of them would go their separate ways.

All of them felt unwilling.

However, all good things must come to an end, and no matter how unwilling they were, they had to leave in the end.

“Vice Dean Chi, farewell.” Duan Ling Tian nodded to Chi Ming, and then he turned around to leave with Luo Zhan and Chen Shao Shuai.

“See you tomorrow.” Chi Ming’s voice transmission entered into Duan Ling Tian’s ears as well.

After Duan Ling Tian’s group of three left, the group of academy students left successively.

“Zi Yan!” Flame Young Master, Zhang Yan, thickened his face and followed behind Flute Fairy, Zi Yan.

“Zhang Yan, I’m warning you, don’t follow me anymore!” Flute Fairy’s slanted brows tilted up, and she was like a female tiger that was demonstrating her might.

But Zhang Yan utterly didn’t allow himself to be pushed away.

Perhaps, so long as Flute Fairy didn’t get married, he wouldn’t give up on chasing after Flute Fairy.

After Duan Ling Tian, Luo Zhan, and Chen Shao Shuai left the academy, they went to have a meal together.

After the meal.

“Duan Ling Tian, want to go to the Spring Night House with me?” Chen Shao Shuai looked at Duan Ling Tian with a dubious expression.

“No!” Duan Ling Tian shook his head, and his tone was resolute and decisive.

Chen Shao Shuai shook his head, then he glanced at Duan Ling Tian before looking and at Luo Zhan, and he sighed. “Truly boring… Sometime I even have doubts about whether you’re interested in women!”

“Sword Young Master, I’m more interested in sparring with you.” Duan Ling Tian spoke word by word.

“Exactly, I’m interested in sparring with you, Sword Young Master, as well.” Luo Zhan looked at Chen Shao Shuai, and the battle intent in his eyes surged.

Chen Shao Shuai rolled his eyes at Duan Ling Tian and Luo Zhan. “I can’t be bothered with the two of you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he directly leaped out of the window and left to the Spring Night House to have fun.

Whereas after Duan Ling Tian and Luo Zhan finished eating, they left the restaurant and headed to the Weapons Craftsmen Guild.

The Weapons Craftsmen Guild had a total of five floors.

The first floor was the main hall to publish and accept assignments.

The second floor was the place to rest and verify the grade of a Weapons Craftsman and to distribute the Weapons Craftsmen badge.

The third floor was the Weapons Refinement Room that was exclusive to the Guild Master, Luo Rong.

The fourth floor was the place of rest for the workers of the Weapons Craftsmen Guild.

The fifth floor was Luo Rong’s residence.

When he heard that Duan Ling Tian wanted to stay for a night, Luo Rong instantly instructed the workers to tidy up a room in the fifth floor for Duan Ling Tian.

Although Duan Ling Tian was unwilling to be Luo Rong’s teacher, in Luo Rong’s heart, he’d already taken Duan Ling Tian to be his teacher since long ago.
